Henlo lads, I am going to Manchester for the first time next month and would like to find out more about the place from people who know it. The two stadiums are a must see for me but I'm not sure what else there is in the city. I like Manchester bands so I assume there are places linked to them that I can visit.
What is the public transport like? Is it good value for money? I know there have been problems with strikes on English train services.
>What is the public transport like?
Worst of any developed European country
>Is it good value for money?
Some of the worst in the world
>I know there have been problems with strikes on English train services.
Yes another strike from 27th and going to get worse
Better pack my walking boots then
I don’t live in Manchester, I assume you’re from the UK.
The main part of the city itself is really walkable. Lots of good bars, clubs and restaurants. If you stay in the centre you won’t need public transport as it’s relatively small. Really good vibe in Manchester and probably the best out of all the big cities in the UK in my opinion (saying that as a Southerner).
The tram that goes to some of the further areas is generally decent, I haven’t found it any more expensive than similar services across the rest of the UK although obviously knows more than me.
If you want specific bar locations, I’m happy to give you some cool spots.
Nice one mate. Yeah tell me about the bars. So long as it’s not the gay village. I’m not homerphobic or anything just not into that simple as.
Northern Quarter has a good vibe. Try The Whiskey Jar, usually pretty quiet and some nice whiskies in there.
Thanks lads. Will have a gander at those places.
lol what a ray of sunshine you are. are you from liverpool?
I went there in May and public transport was fine (tramway) and the week-end ticket is good value.
Other than that, I enjoyed walking around in the evening on a weekend seeing all of these slags having fun.
I enjoyed the art museum, and the huge bridge near the Roman wall.
museums are good
ہیلو دوست، مجھے لگتا ہے کہ مانچسٹر میں آپ کا وقت بہت اچھا گزرے گا۔ براہ کرم اذان پر دھیان دیں اور مقامی اسلامی رسم و رواج کے احترام کی علامت کے طور پر معمولی لباس پہننا یقینی بنائیں۔
curry mile has kind of been taken over by arabs and afghans

Nice bar but it's so fucking far away from anything you have to get an Uber back into town
Arndale is a huge shopping centre and alright for people watching if that's your thing. On a warm day there are plenty of English rose's on show with their tummies out which is always a bonus.
football museum was entertaining for their displays. your interest in the stadiums shows you'd be into this but even for non football fans but just museum fans the person i went with had a fun time.
I've heard that it's basically the Łódź of England.
>Łádź of England
